Fear
Easy Going Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You take control, it's got to be
My heart is thumping and
I feel such fear, fear
My thoughts have fallen in your hands
My blood it freezes in my veins
I lose my senses 'cause
Leave me, my head is gonna break
I hate the violence of your back
Your eyes are full of fire
I feel such fear, fear
Your strength is penetrating me
I hate your queer brutality
I'm going mad, I feel
I feel such fear, fear
Far away images of my past
Flashing in my mind so very fast
The face of a woman fades away
I feel such fear, fear
Now you stroke my beaten skin
Stifling the pangs of all my pain
You've hurt me such a lot and
I feel such fear, fear
Strange sensations shake my soul
A feeling of a fault shuts my throat
Now it's all over but
I feel such fear, fear
You smile enjoying the victory
I'm just a prisoner of destiny
My life is changing and
I feel such fear, fear
(You take control)
(You take control, it's got to be)
(You take control)
(You take control, it's got to be)
Far away images of my past
Flashing in my mind so very fast
The face of a woman fades away
I feel such fear, fear
Now you stroke my beaten skin
Stifling the pangs of all my pain
You've hurt me such a lot and
I feel such fear, fear
Strange sensations shake my soul
A feeling of a fault shuts my throat
Now it's all over but
I feel such fear, fear
You smile enjoying the victory
I'm just a prisoner of destiny
My life is changing and
I feel such fear, fear
Fear, fear
Fear, fear
Fear, fear
I feel such fear, fear
Fear, fear
(You take control)
(You take control, it's got to be)
(You take control)
(You take control, it's got to be)
The lyrics of Easy Going's "Fear" depict a situation of power abuse and violence, where the singer is the victim of someone who takes control over them. The fear and anxiety provoked by this situation are vividly described through sensory experiences, such as the thumping heart and frozen blood in the veins. The perpetrator is portrayed as someone who enjoys their victory and inflicts both physical and emotional pain on the singer, who becomes alienated from their own senses and memories. The repetition of the phrase "I feel such fear, fear" reinforces the intensity of the emotional state and the ongoing sense of threat.
The song raises the issue of domestic violence, where fear is a common feeling experienced by victims of abuse. It also shows how fear can impede our ability to act and think rationally, and how it can be used as a tool of control and manipulation by those in power. The phrase "prisoner of destiny" indicates how the singer feels trapped in a situation that they cannot escape, despite their attempts to resist.

Anni 70, chi non c'era non sapete cosa vi siete persi. Meravigliosi anni, meravigliosa musica disco.
@leobrettchicca
D'accordo con te ๐๐๐๐

One of the greatest Italian disco tracks of all time and like all true classics it just gets better and better as the decades pass ,- unusually there is a remix of the track that is almost as good as the original - the 14 minute plus 1980 version by Jellybean who adds extra vocals and takes the track into another dimension. Simonetti Rules!
